Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mr. Coffee FTX29 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Red
Customer Review: Uses half the amount of coffee so it pays for itself!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am on a quest to make the perfect cup of coffee. I drink so much coffee, but for some reason, my pots of coffee used to turn out horrible. My husband's pots of coffee, though, were great. We use Starbucks beans regularly, I'd clean the pot, and use filtered water. I've never figured out what I was doing wrong.
It got to the point where I bought a Senseo but wound up giving it away because their coffee is awful. I bought a one-cup coffeemaker (that I've also reviewed) and had luck with that.
Our regular coffeemaker finally died. It was a Cuisinart that made a great pot of coffee when my husband used it. We had visited my parents who had this Mr. Coffee coffee maker and it seemed to work well, but we weren't planning to buy a Mr. Coffee. However, when we went to Tuesday Morning to see what they had, they coincidentally had this. So, although I was a little reluctant, we bought it based on price.
I'm AMAZED at the quality of this coffeemaker and I'm shocked at the mediocre reviews here. If our coffeemaker only lasts a year, I'll be happy. I haven't used a basket filter coffee maker in years. . . probably 15 years or so. But, this uses a basket filter rather than a cone. And, we use 1/2 the amount of coffee we've used in the cone coffeemakers. For every cup of coffee we made in other coffeemakers, we used 2 coffee scoops of coffee. Now, we only have to use 1 coffee scoop of coffee. We drink so much coffee-- me, especially-- that we've already saved enough where this coffemaker has paid for itself.
The coffee is consistently hot. It's consistently strong. It's just a great coffeemaker all around. You can decide if you want your coffee regular or extra strong. We use the strong setting and are always pleased.
After my coffee was sitting around on the warming plate for a while in all my old coffeemakers, it tasted stale and burnt. I thought that was just the standard and coffee had to be brewed again. The truth is, though, I can drink the coffee that's been sitting on the warming plate with this coffeemaker and it tastes fresh. So, maybe the warming plate is a better temperature.
I'm thrilled with this purchase and would be happy with it even if it lasted only a year. I brew several pots per day and would definitely feel as if I've gotten my money's worth.
